What took them so long?

This is awesome!  I remember him from the childhood days of AM 640 and CFTR.   Boom is the perfect station these days for him. 

Apples to oranges. He will most likely be a VT since he is keeping his week end shift on XL 103.
I'm guessing maybe (if this is what listeners want) he'll interview some famous artist and then play one of their songs.
The same vt'd interview could easily air on both stations. 
I honestly do not know if he'll go to the phones or have a prize for callers...etc (anything that works best live)

 

You are incorrect. He will NOT be VT'd.

Voice Tracked

 Tarzan Dan has always been one of the best top 40 announcers anywhere.  And as markow202 mentions above, Boom is a perfect station for him. He will be playing much of the same music from his legendary CFTR days many years ago. It will be great to hear Tarzan back on Toronto radio!  

Lots good changes happening on air.  Steve Paikin and Ben Mulroney with regular morning appearances on AM 640, David Common the new host of Metro Morning on CBC, and now Tarzan Dan back in town at Boom.  The local radio landscape is getting more interesting and with some good personalities.

VT'ed or not, it's good to have TD back in TO.

He's going to be on both Boom and XL. 
I doubt it'll be any good. Just a bunch of blah. Canada wide blah.
Nothing Toronto about it. 

How many times in a shift does any music announcer talk about something completely local to the city they're in?  Once or twice maybe?  It's not a talk show it's a shift on a music station.  He'll be talking about things from his life, and the music and pop culture.  He doesn't need to talk about the pothole at Yonge and Front to be entertaining or relevant.  

Live or voice tracked, whether he is in Toronto or not, Dan will sound great on Boom.
